This award provides support for the travel of two invited speakers from underrepresented groups and twelve students and young investigators to attend the 6th International Conference on Clinical and Engineering Frontiers in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease, to be held in Philadelphia, PA, from May 9-11, 2019. The meeting will bring together global leaders in both the clinical and engineering study of congenital heart disease along with the next generation of researchers needed to address this important challenge. The conference will focus on disseminating the current state of the art with respect to advances in fundamental engineering and science that impact the understanding of both the pathophysiology and treatment of congenital heart disease. In addition, significant time will be spent identifying the gaps in knowledge that require new advancements in engineering in order to develop solutions in the future. Engineering and medical students from the region will also be encouraged to attend in order to better understand how engineers and clinicians can work together to address these challenges through advances in both fundamental engineering and clinical science.This conference will bring together clinical and fundamental researchers to exchange knowledge and identify areas that are key targets for future research. Award funds will be used to support young investigators and students who will be able to present their research to an audience of leaders in the field. This will support the professional development and career advancement of these individuals. In addition, the award will support two underrepresented assistant professors to present invited talks. These individuals, who are developing leaders in the field, will serve as mentors and role models to other individuals from underrepresented groups.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为来自代表性不足群体的两名受邀演讲者以及 12 名学生和年轻研究人员提供旅行支持，以参加将于 2019 年 5 月 9 日至 11 日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行的第六届儿科和先天性心脏病临床和工程前沿国际会议。该会议将汇集先天性心脏病临床和工程研究的全球领导者以及应对这一重要挑战所需的下一代研究人员。 会议将重点传播影响先天性心脏病病理生理学和治疗理解的基础工程和科学进展的最新进展。 此外，还将花费大量时间来确定知识差距，这些差距需要工程方面的新进步，以便在未来开发解决方案。 还将鼓励该地区的工程和医学生参加，以便更好地了解工程师和临床医生如何共同努力，通过基础工程和临床科学的进步来应对这些挑战。本次会议将汇集临床和基础研究人员，交流知识并确定未来研究的关键目标领域。 奖励资金将用于支持年轻的研究人员和学生，他们将能够向该领域的领导者展示他们的研究成果。 这将支持这些人的专业发展和职业进步。 此外，该奖项还将支持两名代表性不足的助理教授进行特邀演讲。 这些正在该领域培养领导者的个人将成为来自代表性不足群体的其他个人的导师和榜样。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
